<h1>New JDBC Connection Pool: Add Connection Pool Optional Settings</h1>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>This page of the New File wizard for defining a JDBC connection pool allows you to modify the default values for pool settings, transaction isolation, and connection validation. It is best to leave these settings at their default values and modify them later in the connection pool properties window.</p>
<p>The following settings can be modified in this screen:</p>
<a id="NBCSH4815" name="NBCSH4815"></a>
<p><b>Pool Settings</b></p>
<p>A set of physical database connections reside in the pool. When an application requests a connection, the connection is removed from the pool, and when the application releases the connection, it is returned to the pool.</p>

<p><b>Transaction Isolation</b></p>
<p>Because a database is usually accessed by many users concurrently, one transaction might update data while another attempts to read the same data. The isolation level of a transaction defines the degree to which the data being updated is visible to other transactions. For details on isolation levels, refer to the documentation of the database vendor.</p>

<td align="left" headers="r3c1-t70 r1c2-t70">Set to true or false. If you set to true, all connections taken from the pool have the same isolation level. For example, if the isolation level for the connection is changed programatically (with con.setTransactionIsolation) when last used, this mechanism changes the status back to the specified isolation level.</td>

<p><b>Connection Validation</b></p>
<p>The application server can validate connections before they are passed to applications. Validation allows the application server to automatically re-establish database connections if the database becomes unavailable due to network failure or database server crash. Validation of connections incurs additional overhead and slightly reduces performance.</p>
